- ¼ cup Tahini
- ½ tsp ground cumin plus extra to taste

Instructions
- Drain the liquid from one can of chickpeas into a bowl, we will use the aquafaba to thin the hummus. Set aside.
- Peel, smash, then mince one clove of fresh garlic.
- Measure out 1/2 cup or 3.5-4 ounces of roasted red pepper strips. Finely chop and set aside 2 TBSP of chopped red pepper for topping the hummus.

- Using a high-powered blender or small food processor, add lemon juice, olive oil, tahini and 2 TBSP of aquafaba. Add drained chickpeas, garlic, roasted red pepper, cumin, and sea salt.
- Secure the lid of your blender/processor and blend until smooth. Press down or scrape down ingredients as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add extra aquafaba or plain water (1 TBSP at a time) blending between spoonfuls until desired creaminess is reached.
- If you'd like to taste test at this point, you can opt to add extra lemon juice as well for more lemon flavor. Additional cumin and salt may be added if you would like to amp up the flavors even more.
